My guess is that both are 4.3-4.5 sec cars

Impressive showing for the M2

But holy dogcrap the 991 Turbo S is hauling some serious ass, 6 sec flat 0-100mph is ridiculous

The 2016 GT3RS is a 991.1. I presume those times are for a 991.1 turbo S also?

Every other generation the GT3’s have been as fast as a turbo rolling, and top end faster. That turbo S though is mega quick.

Also, how is the M2 SOOOO much faster than an M135 with only 40HP more?

This is a 4 year old thread, but i suspect the wider fenders means much wider tires, probably a stickier compound of rubber, and an LSD.

There are other important factors besides the manufacturer's max rated hp at the crank (during defined atmospheric conditions).
